Rainbows

They must have been using some really good bait to catch that beautiful rainbow off the Sanibel fishing pier this afternoon. They even got a two-for-one on the line... it was a double rainbow!
I was combing the beach to look for shells but I couldnt take my eyes off the incredible changing sky.
It was another special treat to see this live LIGHTNING WHELK that went right back in the water where I found her after I snapped the photo. There were lots of empty common shells lying up on the beach but I didn't keep any this weekend. I just wanted to enjoy the beach, healthy live creatures and I even enjoyed the rain. Without the rain, there would be no rainbows.

Karen and Mike from Fort myers found a FLORIDA CONE, TINTED CANTHARUS, OLIVES, AUGERS, CONCHS, WORMIE, CORAL and lots of other goodies to total an exshellent shelling day at Blind Pass Captiva.
Donna from Clermont, FL looked as beautiful as her shells (on the water blue beach blanket) while she was being shaded by her darling beach hat and umbrella. She was thrilled to find 2 BANDED TULIPS!
You know I love to peek in shell buckets! Oooooo. I spy an ALPHABET CONE!
Laura from Ft Lauderdale is the proud sheller filling up that shell bucket.
Wow! These are some of her faves ... the perfect ALPHABET CONE, BITTERSWEET, TULIP, NUTMEG and a cool piece of CORAL. Happiness.
